While this was going on, Mr. Taylor was upstairs.

waɪl ðɪs wɒz ˈgəʊɪŋ ɒn, Mr. ˈteɪlə wɒz ˌʌpˈsteəz.

He and his staff began throwing furniture out of the window. 

 hiː ænd hɪz stɑːf bɪˈgæn ˈθrəʊɪŋ ˈfɜːnɪʧər aʊt ɒv ðə ˈwɪndəʊ.

Chairs and tables went flying into the arcade. 

 ʧeəz ænd ˈteɪblz wɛnt ˈflaɪɪŋ ˈɪntuː ði ɑːˈkeɪd.

One of the thieves was struck by a heavy statue, but he was too busy helping himself to diamonds to notice any pain.

The raid was all over in three minutes, for the men scrambled back into the car and it moved off at a fantastic speed. 

 ðə reɪd wɒz ɔːl ˈəʊvər ɪn θriː ˈmɪnɪts, fɔː ðə mɛn ˈskræmbld bæk ˈɪntuː ðə kɑːr ænd ɪt muːvd ɒf æt ə fænˈtæstɪk spiːd.

Just as it was leaving, Mr. Taylor rushed out and ran after it throwing ashtrays and vases, but it was impossible to stop the thieves. 

 ʤʌst æz ɪt wɒz ˈliːvɪŋ, Mr. ˈteɪlə rʌʃt aʊt ænd ræn ˈɑːftər ɪt ˈθrəʊɪŋ ˈæʃtreɪz ænd ˈvɑːzɪz, bʌt ɪt wɒz ɪmˈpɒsəbl tuː stɒp ðə θiːvz.

They had got away with thousands of pounds worth of diamonds.
